what does these two biblical quotes mean??

Question

Let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. T
he wife hath not the power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body,
but the wife.

~1 Corinthians 7:2-4~

AND
1:17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and
folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

Answer 1

First: Have sex with your spouse, and don't use holding back sex as a tool to get what you want
Second: The accumulation of worldly "wisdom" is pointless, as it leads nowhere.

Answer 2

1Cor 7 (NIV translation)

2 But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self‑control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.

The other verse is frem Ecclesiastes.
Solomon, in trying all of the world's excesses found that all is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 12:13, “Let us then hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

Answer 3

Husband and wife, I think that one is very clear, treat your spouse like you would want to be treated, your spouse should be your best friend. As for the 1: 17 I suppose thats Ecclesiastes. King Solomon was the smartest and had the most widom of any man on the earth, he was also the richest man ever, I think he found out that all of that without God is useless. It doesn't make you happy, money cannnot by happiness, I think he learned that it actually made you feel worse knowing what he knew, that all the time he had spent searching was in vain because what he found was not worth the effort. I love the last chapter of that book and especially the 13th verse, Let us here the conclusion of the whole matter, Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. So after all he had learned, he found out is was useless and he had wasted his time, fear God in his time, today we believe in Jesus Christ, he is our Lord and Saviour and serving him is our duty. Amen

Answer 4

The first quote means that husbands and wives should be sexually generous with one another. Since marriage is monogamous, you are the only one your faithful spouse can experience the pleasures and joys of sex with - so don't hold back but give yourself to the other person with delight :)

The second quote is from Ecclesiastes which means basically that even the pursuit of earthly wisdom is ultimately meaningless and will lead to depression and despair if you leave God out of the equation!

Answer 5

The first verse simply tells the couple that they belong to each other and not to withhold relations from each other. Another verse is I Corinthians 7:5 that further explains that.

The second verse means not to be overly wise. Solomon is simply saying that he tried to know everything, and found that it is simply not good for the spirit. Other verses are Ecclesiastes 12:12 and Ecclesiastes 7:16.

Answer 6

The first scriptures is that the wifes body is the husbands & the husbands body is the the wifes. And we are not to deny our spouse our body. We are to be one flesh.

I am not sure on the last one. To know Gods Wisdom is from heaven and to know worldly wisdom is from earth. In James3 it is written that Gods wisdom (from above) is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy & good fruits, without partiality, & without hypocrisy. While earthly wisdom is slandering, partiality, hypocrisy, bitter envying & strife, confusion & every evil work.

Answer 7

1 Corinthians 7:2-4 (NIV)
2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.

1 Corinthians 1:17 (NIV)
17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

I am assuming that when you wrote 1:17 that you were still referring to 1 Corinthians.
Does this NIV make more sense?
-God Bless. †

Answer 8

That verse is Proverbs 8:11. comparable verses are additionally contemporary in Proverbs 3:15 and activity 28:18. on an identical time as those chapters may be the suited places to start, Proverbs talks notably with regard to the value of information, even from its first financial disaster. information is greater effective than something by using fact it brings approximately all issues sturdy, justice, riches, peace, etc. Wealth without information does little sturdy by using fact a rich fool is probable to lose his funds.

Answer 9

First, satisfying physical relationship between spouses.

Second, everything is vanity, even pursuit of wisdom because ultimately everyone ends up in the grave. Only belief in God and hope of eternal life make living worthwhile.

Answer 10

7:2-4
Marriage is God's only provision for sexual fulfillment, also married believers are not to sexually deprive their spouses.

1:17
For the first of 3 times, Paul states the principle of contentment which is required of all Christians.

Answer 11

FIRST: pple take that verse differently.... some think it means to always submitt yourself sexually to your spouse... some believe it means to when youre married, your body is no longer your own... i believe its a lil of both... i dont think you have to ALWAYS submitt sexually to your husband, if youre not really in the mood..... i think it means not to withhold sex from your spouse just for some kind of gain.

SECOND: i think it means exactly what it says... his heart knows good and bad.....he almost sounds a lil conflicted......but i think he has come to a realization that it is pointless.
